128 sounds very ragged to me. It's fine for the car or background music
but when I put on my Grado headphones the lossy compression is not
really a pleasure to listen to.
This:
"Audio (MP3)
32 kbit/s - MW (AM) quality
96 kbit/s - FM quality - This is questionable since FM broadcast is transmitted in analog 30hz-15khz. Similarly one cannot compare directly an LP record to CD using kbit/s.
128-160 kbit/s - Standard Bitrate quality; difference can sometimes be obvious (e.g. lack of low frequency quality and high frequency "swashy" effects)[citation needed]
224-320 kbit/s - VBR to highest MP3 quality"
from here:
At 225 kbit, it is strange it is so offensive to your ear, it is approaching concert hall quality ... 96 kbit is ~equal to fm radio ... I think what your are hearing is more in your mind than anywhere else.
